# @ohos.continuation.continuationManager (continuationManager)

The **continuationManager** module provides the continuation management entry. You can use the APIs of this module to connect to and cancel the continuation management service, subscribe to and unsubscribe from device connection events, start the device selection module, and update the device connection state.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Modules to Import
